CCA - Atari 8Bit Demoscene (Vol 2) - 48k to 128k - The 400 Mini - Pouët Favorites / Jan 2025

Pouët favorites as of January 2025.
The Atari 8-bit demoscene is a subculture of computer enthusiasts who create and showcase impressive audiovisual demos on Atari 8-bit computers, such as the Atari 400, 800, and XL/XE series. These demos often push the hardware to its limits, demonstrating the creativity and technical skills of the developers.
The demoscene originated in the 1980s and has continued to thrive, with many talented programmers, artists, and musicians contributing to the community. Some notable demos include "Numen" by Taquart, which showcases stunning graphics and effects, and "The Top 3" by WFMH, a classic demo from 1991.
The demoscene is known for its friendly competitions, where creators submit their demos to be judged by their peers. These events, known as demoparties, are held worldwide and provide a platform for enthusiasts to share their work and learn from each other.
CAUTION!!! Flashing Lights!!!!!

Had no idea Atari 8 bit music was this strong. Also, 17:32 - those graphics are amazing!

[@coffeecuparcade]

That Pokey chip can rock it!

[@nickolasgaspar9660]

you should check what rastaconverter and G2F can do with A8 graphics. I have some examples in my channel and a couple of drawings I made with G2F(managed to put ~40 colors on screen). Amazing system!

[@coffeecuparcade]

@@nickolasgaspar9660 I will check that out thank you!

Good stuff huh!

[@mikewest6569]

Enough nonsense, stop wasting talent on this garbage and make some playable games.

Lots of these Demoscene devs DO make Indie Games! I encourage you to find a demo you like and see who made it, then see what else they have done! Demoscene is all about showing off what the hardware can do. They are the rockstars!
